Home Automation

MAKING YOUR LIFE EASIER

Picture yourself at 5:30 pm on a freezing cold night in Central Illinois. You’ve just gotten off work and are about to make your 20-minute drive home. From the parking lot, you turn up the heat in your home just before leaving work. You arrive at your now warm house without having wasted hours of electricity or shivering while waiting for it to heat up after physically changing the thermostat.

This and many other life-changing scenarios are now achievable. Home automation is a growing trend that's giving you, a homeowner, the ability to control almost any aspect of your home remotely with a computer or smartphone.

Not only is home automation convenient, being able to control your home remotely gives you peace of mind, protects your family from various dangers, and saves you money. Wm. Masters has skilled experts in home automation who can connect your home with these technologies to make your life better.

ELECTRICAL AUTOMATION

Not sure if you turned the lights off in the kitchen? Want to see if your kids locked the doors after getting home from school? You can, and it’s easier to do than ever.

Since your home is powered by electricity, electrical automation can automate and customize dozens of appliances within your house. By utilizing electrical automation, you will save money, lessen overall energy consumption, provide additional security to your home, and lower your stress and worries.

PLUMBING AUTOMATION

Plumbing isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of home automation, but it’s one of the most important functions in your home to monitor. All it takes is the failure of a sump pump or rusty water heater to flood your basement, costing you time and thousands of dollars to clean up.

You can monitor pipes, water heaters, sump pumps, and bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room fixtures using the FortrezZ Wireless Water and Temperature Sensor. The sensor alerts you when water is detected, or a temperature reaches a customizable set point, and protects your home from internal water damage.

FortrezZ also manufactures a wireless water valve, which is an innovative, professional grade, electrically operated valve that allows you to open or close the valve as needed. With the help of Nexia, this can be done from any internet-enabled smartphone, tablet or computer.

Your home doesn’t end at your front or back door, and your plumbing system extends outside of your house. The Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller changes the way you water your lawn. It makes running your sprinklers easy and convenient while saving you both water and money. Rachio automatically creates a watering schedule that lowers your water bill and ensures the beautiful yard you want, while the mobile app gives you access to your sprinkler system from anywhere. Rachio is compatible with nearly any sized yard and smart home platform.
